Is Genetic Modification Modifying Us?

It’s a question worth asking.

Food turned science experiments known as genetically modified organisms have been linked in independent scientific studies to everything from giant tumors to infertility. Big Agra companies like Monsanto (the biotech giant who lovingly brought us DDT and Agent Orange, and which raked in $13.5 billion in profits last year alone) have genetically modified corn crops, for example, to produce their own pesticide.

What gives any human — scientist or super hero — the idea he or she can come along with a chemistry set and a few college degrees and do so much better?[/pullquote]

Pesticides are already sprayed all over conventionally grown items as it is, but when we eat pesticide-producing corn, we are ingesting the pesticide it makes as well.

Why that’s no big deal to some people still stupefies me. Because there are no labeling laws, there is truly no way to know if what we are eating has been bioengineered. Case in point: some estimate there may be upwards of 30,000 GMO products sitting on grocery store shelves right now.

Did you know that fruit giant Dole is currently in the process of testing genetically modified pineapple? On April 26th, the company announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved testing back in January of the frankenfruit dubbed Rosé for its rose-colored flesh.

On Friday, public comments closed with over 1.5 million people (including scientists, doctors, chefs, consumers, and even salmon farmers) speaking out against the FDA’s Draft Environment Assessment claiming not to worry, the salmon did not pose a threat to the environment.

More scientists also just announced they are adding extra DNA to cows so they will be born without horns. This is supposedly being done in the interest of farmer safety. There’s always an excuse lying around to jack with things.

Hey, let’s just toss a little extra DNA into everything else while we are at it! Why not? A professor at Roslin Institute and genetically modified animal expert Helen Sang told Gulf News, “This a very exciting time. We have GM animals that have qualities you can’t achieve through conventional animal breeding.”

Exactly! That’s the whole point, Helen! You can’t have them because they don’t naturally exist!

Time is relative, but from what we know based on our best dating methods, nature took approximately millions of years to create our world the organic way. What gives any human, scientist or super hero, the idea he or she can come along with a chemistry set and a few college degrees and do so much better?

Besides, let’s be straight, scientists aren’t dreaming these things up and cranking them out simply because they are really neat-o or even under the philanthropic guise of saving the world from hunger (otherwise known in some places as artificial food shortages). Ultimately the companies behind GMOs create them because they have a vested interest in generating revenue.

GMO isn’t about making the world a better place because it doesn’t even take long-term effects on the world into account! GMO is all about making money. That’s the bottom line, plain and simple. These foods have only been widespread in our food supply since the late-1990s. The long-term effects on our health, plants, animals, and our environment have yet to truly be seen.

What is all this GMO doing to us? To our kids? To their kids? To their grandkids?

We don’t even really know yet.

Animal studies that have been done suggest staggering genetically modified dangers that we have to sit up and take seriously. Jeffrey M. Smith, of the Institute for Responsibility Technology, has logged some 65 known issues with genetically modified foods, including animal research that has demonstrated widespread fertility and reproduction issues, organ and intestinal damage, auto-immune triggers, cancer and more.

Now professors are publicly warning the world that we may dehumanize ourselves with designer genetically modified eugenic babies. Are we so desensitized to GMO we’re willing to birth GMO babies? What are the implications of that and where do they ever end?

While GMOs continually threaten us and our natural, organic food, President Obama continues to stand by Big Agra. First he appointed former Monsanto lobbyist Michael Taylor as our Food Safety Czar, a sentence that sounds more like the punchline to a bad joke than reality. Most recently, Obama signed a bill with a nice little rider tucked in it to protect biotech companies from federal court proceedings even if environmental studies are incomplete. The so-called Monsanto Protection Act completely ignores the potential risks that genetically modified food poses to, well, everything.

Aaron and Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) created Truthstream Media to figure out what in the hell is really going on around here.

Co-founder of Truthstream Media, Aaron Dykes is an investigative researcher and video creator with over a decade of experience in uncovering the secretive and often nefarious that gravitates around power. Together with his wife Melissa Dykes, Aaron has traveled across the country in search of threads tied to political intrigue, black ops, military industrial complex, the weaponization of science, a hidden history of eugenics and population control, unethical human experimentation and the quest to control the physical mind that remains ongoing and little known. Aaron has been part of hundreds videos and interviews on a variety of important topics across the spread of geopolitics and conspiracy, news and olds.

Melissa Dykes is the other co-founder of Truthstream Media, and a passionate and witty voice for common sense and sanity in a world plagued by lies, corruption and deep conspiracies that has patched over reality and left a world of naive and helplessly herded people lost in technology, and cut off from their own history. She has focused her investigative research and video production on issues ranging from health and safety in smart meters, EMF, ersatz food, cell towers and other modern environmental concerns, to the dark underbelly of covert experimentation, CIA plots, secret infrastructure and the organized and systematic control over the minds of the population. Melissa has written dozens of articles, edited and produced countless videos, and several documentary projects in the hopes of shining a light in the right places.
